Alright for this I'm just gonna saw that my timeline is only slightly AU, this story will follow the plot of the first season of the anime, but in my version Genos and Saitama have known each other a couple weeks before the House of Evolution attacked.
Also THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH! I have got some incredibly supportive comments from this and it makes me so happy, I'm sorry that this was late, but I recently had major surgery and have been recovering most of the summer. Hopefully I can get these chapters out quicker!
Chapter 2
The group made their way back to the apartment. Hari hanging onto Saitama's back and talking a mile a minute about random things. Normally it would annoy the two heroes, but Hari had this happy aura around him that just made him tolerable.
Saitama dropped the kid onto the couch, he had no idea what he was going to do with the gaki. Not only was his life-style not conductive to living with a kid, he had no idea how to take care of one. Saitama bet that this was one of the few things that Genos probably also couldn't do well.
Hari stared at the two heroes as the quietly discussed what they were going to do with him. Whilst they were busy in the kitchen talking, Hari let his eyes take in the small one-bedroom apartment. He saw the tv and manga taking up most of the space as well as a small coffee table that was obviously the dining table. All in all, Hari had lived in much worse places, so he thought that living here with the two heroes would be tolerable. Maybe even exciting!
See without the risk of dying, Hari became an adrenaline junkie of sorts. He was always looking for the next crazy thing he could do or the next source of entertainment.
The two heroes walked back into the main room and Hari looked up at them, turning to face them he flashed his bright green eyes along with an adorable smile that caused even Genos to soften slightly.
"Well, gaki, since we don't want you having to go back with that bastard. You get to live with us, if you want. Although you should be warned that we tend to get into fights a lot with monsters so you may be on your own for portions of time." Saitama said with a bored expression on his face, causing Hari to giggle slightly.
"Don't worry! I can amuse myself and I'm not too bad in a fight if need be!" Hari said cheerfully, ignoring the shocked expression on Genos's face that someone so young had been fighting before.
Before the two could continue talking the wall behind Hari was torn out and a lightning fast animal hand reached in and grabbed Hari before the other two heroes could react and jumped out onto the sidewalk below.
Whilst Hari had the mind of an immortal being his body was still a seven-year-olds causing him to cry out in fright for who the child in him saw as his guardians, "Saitama, Genos!"
Quickly the two heroes dawned their gear and jumped outside. Whilst is had only been a couple hours the two already cared about Hari, they wouldn't tolerate anyone hurting those they cared about. When they landed on the ground they saw a tall tiger man holding Hari in his left hand. Surrounding him was a mantis creature, a pink slug and bipedal frog along with a tall armored gorilla.
"So, this is the source of the strange energy that master has been detecting." The gorilla said, looking at an annoyed Hari.
"Let's get this over with, I have the brat, go capture the bald weirdo so we can head back." The tiger said.
Quickly Genos and Saitama sprinted at the mantis and frog, easily tearing through the two creatures with a single punch and a blast of a hand cannon. The slug also died in a showed of blue blood from a quick punch from Saitama to the face.
The gorilla charged at Genos and the two quickly began a fight off to the side, whilst Saitama walked towards the tiger. Before he could react, a mole pulled him underground so that only his head was left above the surface. The sight was so ridiculous that Hari began to giggle, even whilst being held by the tiger's claws.
The tiger heard Hari's laugh and got annoyed he leaned his face so that it was directly in front of Hari's face and growled, "Listen, gaki, you better shut up or I'll rip you in half!"
Hari looked at the tiger with a happy smile on his face, ignoring Saitama who had pulled himself out of the ground and killed the mole, and was now shaking the dirt out of his pants. Hari felt his eyes begin to glow a bright electric green as he felt his magic responding to his desire to see this tiger killed for even thinking of touching him.
Before the Beast King could drop the kid that had started glowing, a bright electric energy wave appeared out of nowhere and severed the hand holding Hari, causing the embodiment of death to fall to the ground and Beast King to scream in agony.
Hari stood up and brushed himself off before calmly levitating the tiger to float 15 meters in the air and summoning some spikes to appear on the ground below, Hari looked up and saw the fear in the King's eyes as the tiger begged to be let go.
With a bright smile Hari said, "No can do, kitty! You need to be punished for Sai-Sai's wall and touching me! Bye-Bye!"
With that he released the spell and the tiger fell to the ground below, getting impaled by the twenty spikes below with a violent splatter of blood covering most of the surrounding area.
Hari nodded happily before turning to Saitama, who was looking at him with a look of respect and pride. Hari bounced over to the hero and held his hand up for a high-five, Saitama smiled and high-fived the little wizard.
"Nice work, gaki, looks like you'll be coming with us to fights more in the future." Saitama said, causing Hari to bounce in happiness and jump on Saitama's back.
The two walked over to where Genos was interrogating the defeated Armored Gorilla.
"My master wished to capture the human named Saitama due to his incredible strength. He hoped that he would be able to unlock the secrets to his body. When my master also detected a strange energy traveling with Saitama, he ordered us to capture it as well." The gorilla said, obviously scared for his life.
"Sensei, it looks like we need to pay this Home of Evolution a visit, otherwise they won't leave us alone." Genos said in a serious voice.
"Alright, let's go." Saitama said, turning (with Hari still on his back) to walk towards the lab.
"Wait, right now?" Genos asked, running quickly to catch up with the two.
"Yes, there is a sale tomorrow and I don't want to miss it." Saitama answered like it was the most obvious think in the world.
Hari giggled, he had a feeling life wasn't going to be as boring anymore with these two around.
